Looks like the United States of America has lost its shine.
Anyone in the US of A can be officially harrassed by the government (prosecutors are from the gummint, right?) and then after so much harrassment, the harrassers said that they had no case.
So what about the victim ?
What about the ordeal the victim (or victims) had to go through ?
All the time lost, all the sufferings, all the agonies, and the ruined reputation, what about all these ??
In the USA, many people think that money can buy everything. But no matter how much money that poor guy can claim from the gummint, nothing can replace the agonies and time lost and sufferings, and the really painful lesson of being a good guy.
In other words, in USA, there's no such thing as LIBERTY anymore !
Your story of Ming Dynasty's "great adventure on seafaring vassels" is another proof of half-cooked history wannabe telling the world his own half-cooked semi-historical-fiction.
The Admiral Cheng-Ho's seafaring trips hundreds of years ago had a cetral mission - The emperor sent Admiral Cheng-Ho out to search for, and kill the emperor's political rival - his own brother.
You see, the Ming's emperor overthrew his brother and grabbed the throne for himself. There was a great bloodbath, but after the bloodbath, nobody could find the body of the "former" emperor.
That made everybody worried.
What if the old emperor came back, with his own army and supporters ?
What if the old emperor came back with the support of most of the people ?
The only way out is to look for the old emperor. And story had it that the old emperor had escaped by ship, and was last reported sailing south, destination unknown.
Do you think that the emperor of Ming dynasty was interested in trade, or setting up a WTO type of international bodies to speed up international trade ?
Far from it. All the emperor was thinking about was to strengthen his own grab of the throne, and to do that he had to be sure that his political rival could no longer pose any threat to him. In other words, he had to kill his political rival, inside or outside China.
Admiral Cheng Ho was nothing but an assassin disguise as an ambassador. All his eight seafaring trips, travelling as far as the East cost of Africa, was to search and kill his emperor's political rival.
That's all.
To put anything else on Cheng Ho's trip is just plain silly.
Do you know what prompted Ming dynasty to clam shut China's border later on ?
The failure of Cheng Ho to locate his emperor's political rival had made the ruling clan very nervous, and they were afraid that the political rival, and his offsprings, could come back from overseas and attacked them.
That's why they shut down the border and didn't allow anymore international trade.
You see, history is a very nice thing to learn, but if you wanna learn history, please be sure to know the entire story, not just a part of it.
You can show the year, date, time, place, but if you don't know the entire story, all the things you have shown will all come to naught.
Because your conclusion is based on your partial understanding of the Ming emperor's intention of sending Admiral Cheng Ho for his eight seafaring trip, your conclusion is unfortunately just plain wrong.
The reality is that no one can produce, however we have tried, a perfectly bugless software.
And there is no way we can be certain that our softwares don't have any unintentional vulnerability either.
Nobody likes software patches, but it is a necessity if we want to make our softwares work better.
The question is not how fast one makes the patch - although it's very important - the keypoint in making patches is how EASY we can make our patch-delivery system works.
No doubt that the Linux patches, at least most of them, come out way faster than those of the MS-Windows camp. But there is _one_ thing that we can learn from Microsoft - they have made their patch delivery system (aka www.windowsupdate.com) something that can be used by most users.
I am not saying that the Linux patching process is cumbersome, but we gotta admit that the average users (not sysadmins) just can't begin to understand how to patch their Linux boxes.
If we can come up with something that approach the ease of www.windowsupdate.com, perhaps Linux can be used by even more not-so-tech-savvy users.
I know, I know, there's a world of difference between MS-Windows and Linux, but what I am talking about is the deliverance of our software patches - and in this case, Microsoft has something that we can learn from.
But if they are NOT Malays, and/or Moslems, you can count out the possibility for them to be chosen by the RACIST REGIME that is controlling Malaysia as their astronaut.
Everything in Malaysia is tainted by RACE. That is, if you are a Malay - the so-called PREFERRED RACE, you get all types of priviledges. You can get into universities even if your academic scores stinks. You get lots of discounts when you purchase houses. You get unending aids from the governments. You can even kill some non-Malays for fun, and you won't be punished.
Yes, that's the TRUE PICTURE in Malaysia.
South Africa's apartheid system is over, but Malaysia's own blend of OFFICIALLY CONDONED racial discriminatory policies are still VERY MUCH IN EFFECT.
Plus, if you read the news for the past 2 years or so, you will see that Malaysia has A LOT of connections to the Islamic Terrorists, from Taliban to Al-Queda to all types of Jihad movements all over the world.
The terrorist connection is nothing new, for the RACIST REGIME that controls Malaysia is also a TERRORIST-SUPPORTER.
THe prime minister of Malaysia believes that the Moslems of the whole world must unite so that they can KILL ALL THE INFIDELS (especially those from the Western "satanic" countries.)
That guy, Mahathir Mohammed, has said that the Moslems must obtain "world class and very destructive weapons" in order to "fight" the west - one has to wonder about the meaning of "weapons" and "fight".
He also publicly condemned the WHITES for being "racists", and he made that comment as the HEAD OF THE RACIST REGIME IN MALAYSIA WHICH PRACTICES OFFICIAL RACIST DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES against everyone who is not Malays.
That's the REAL Malaysia.
So stop being so darn naive about the "goods" of Malaysia.
In Malaysia, there is NO SUCH THING as GOOD. Everything here is rotten to the core !
Malaysia is a country which practices OFFICIAL RACIAL DISCRIMINATION POLICY.
It officially DISCRIMINATES against EVERYONE who is not a Malay, and/or a Moslem.
If you are a Malay (and/or a Moslem), you get to enjoy ALL TYPES OF PRIVILEDGES - like you get discounts on purchasing houses, you get to study in universities even if your academic results sucks, and you get to call yourself "BUMIPUTRA" (aka Prince Of The Earth) and with that you can kill any non-bumiputras with the knowledge that you will get only a slight slap on your precious little fragile hand.
And such a country is sending people into outer space ?
Does that mean Malaysia is gonna extend its RACIAL DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES INTO OUTER SPACE ?
If you think that DRAGON BALL thing gonna let China rule the world, please, think again.
According to China's plan - and they are progressing very rapidly , - the DRAGON BALL chip is considered as a TRIAL RUN.
The DRAGON BALL chip runs at the 133-233 Mhz Pentium I / II level, and the chip will be used to power word-processor machines in the government offices.
The next chip will come out 2nd quarter of 2004, and it will run at Pentium III level. This next chip will also be considered as a trial run, albeit a beta-test, if you will.
Then they will have something up in 2005/2006, which will run at Pentium IV level, with yet another version at a 12/18 months interval.
According to their plan, the Chinese want to catch up with the world standard sometimes at 2015-2025 timeframe.
We hear a lot of nano-research of the west, and the Chinese have poured untold billions into that field as well. All their investments will come to fruition during the next decades, and we will see that perhaps China will start to export technology by then.
And by 2030, China may be as technologicially advance as Japan. By 2050, China will catch up with USA. By 2080, China may lead the world in technology.
This is according to their masterplan.
That is, if Osama Bin Laden doesn't nuke America first. If there's any disaster happens to USA, China's plan will only be accelerated.
Not that China is not afraid of Osama and his gang of Moslem loonies, it's that China doesn't play game with them loonies.
China's TAKE NO PRISONER approach against the Moslem loonies should be used by USA if it wants to survive for the long run.
Let's hope we can see an honest neck-to-neck race between the USA and China in about 50 years or so, without having some loonies wrecking havoc all around the world.
The Chinese government has required companies to place facilities in china in order to get a foot hold.
This gotta be NEWS to me and MANY OTHERS who have done lots of business in China.
I sell goods to China, as well as buy things from them, and my only facility there is a trading house.
That's it.
No technology transfer, no silicon clean room, nada.
And in the over decade-and-a-half that I've been dealing with China, at no time they require moi to set up any "facility" to aid in the "transfer of technology" in their soil.
Of course, if I want to do that, they would be happy.
Sometimes I wonder if/. posters know the things they talk about to begin with.
You guys in England and US better not complain too much, at least you guys get to choose your own broadband providers.
In Malaysia, most users can only dream of getting broadband hookups.
As if it's not bad enough, the two biggest (and so far, working) ISP in Malaysia gonna be merged. The merger is not due to economic consideration, but because of the government (the biggest shareholder of both the ISP) mandate.
The merger will form a monopoly.
Just like all the other monopoly in Malaysia (just like their counterparts all around the world), the consumers will ultimately become the victims.
Most of the net users of Malaysia still rely on dial-up service, not because we don't want broadband, but because the coverage is just not there.
Most of us live outside of the coverage area, and even those who have signed up for the broadband service (streamyx) they have to put up with frequent system failures.
That is why I am asking this question . . . . . ..
How do they get such smart minds ?
I mean, in my high school years, college years, post graduate years, I have read lots and lots of articles, but never in my (dumb) mind that I can think of doing the things (nuke fusion, cyclotron etc.) they do.
I bet if someone know how to make people having smart minds (and use them too) we won't have osama bin laden running around anymore.
I mean, there are so much more interesting to do than blowing up people, or crashing planes into WTC, or chanting "Allah the greatest" while slaughtering the innocent !
Unfortunately, this world is filled with dumb people, like me.
The only sure-fire way to fight the terrorists is to wipe them out, completely.
There's no place in _any_ society, and no reason whatsoever, to let the terrorists continue to terrorize all of us.
The only problem we have so far is that the world community has absolutely _NO_ will to really fight the terrorists.
Terrorists won't go away just because we wish them to.
Those who were responsibled for the Bali bombing in Indonesia were still yelling "Allah the greatest" in their trial, despite having washed their hands and soul with the bloods and guts of over 200 innocent people.
And look at the PLO - I don't care what they say - killing women and children in the name of "liberation" isn't liberation at all. And killing the Jews (or whoever) in the name of their God only confirms to the world that their "God" is the Devil himself.
The only way to deal with those terrorists is to send them back to their "God" - and make them stay there, forever.
What if that guy and his group of fanatics decided to cut loose that robe ?
What type of catastrophy will that cause ?
No, I am not saying that we shouldn't innovate just because of what a bunch of loony Moslems might do, but we owe it to ourselves to think about the possible consequences ?
We _are_ living in a world where a certain world-religion is actively advocating to kill all the "infidels" - aside from what they have done in NYC that fateful day 2 years ago, they are still killing the "infidels" (aka Christians) in Indonesia and Sudan and Nigeria.
We just gotta be careful, be extra careful nowaday.
When it comes to CIA, even "nutritional principles" has a special meaning.
BTW, someone here said the following:
"This entire "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" and
"ends-justify-the-means" mentality is exactly the same
reasoning that caused the USA to back Pinochet in Chile.
If the above is true, then why don't we see CIA do something about countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Syria, Indonesia, Libya, Sudan ?
These countries are _actively_ supporting the moslem terrorists which have wrecked havoc around the world - from the American embassy bombing in Kenya to the 911 World Trade Center incident, to the Bali Bombing, to the Jakarta Marriot Hotel Bombing to the plot to kill president Bush and the Japanese Prime Minister in the coming October APAC meeting in Bangkok ?
The countries above have had records of giving aids to the terrorist groups, with money, training, intelligence, manpower, weapons, and provide safe havens to the terrorists.
Some of these countries are airing anti-western propaganda on their media outlets daily, trying to brainwash their people to hate the west so much that they will volunteer themselves to become human-bombs for their "holy-war", or Jihad.
No, I do not believe that America has done enough to curb terrorism. What Bush and his cabinet members are doing are just giving lip service to the anti-terrorism push.
What matters here is not the invasion of Iraq, but the eradication of those religious fanatics with their fervor bends to "destroy the infidels at all cost", whatever that mean.
One prime example of the one who is giving all kinds of aid to the terrorists is the country of Malaysia, which is providing the terrorists with safe shelters, military training (including bomb making, tactical planning, strategic and logistic assistances, weapons, money, and psychological-warfare in engaging the western world).
All the above activities are well known, and I believe that the CIA has duely recorded all these activities.
Unfortunately, we do not see any CIA action, overtly or covertly.
I believe that all the terrorists should be wiped out, and all their supporters should go to hell too.
This world is too precious to let the terrorists destroy it.
Now that three Asian countries have decided to join forces to develop Linux to power eletronic gadgets ranging from TVs to Toasters to Set-top-boxes to Fridges to Mobile Phones, of course MS is angry, because nobody wants that "Win CE" no more.
To make it even easier for MS to throw even more of its temper tantrums around, let me introduce you to yet another OpenSourced and Embeddedable Operating System that can mince MS's Win CE into even tinier bits.
The Operating System is called B-Free, and it's the OpenSourced version of the TRON operating sytem that has powered many Japanese electronic gadgets for decades.
I know it's in the pre-alpha stage right now, but heck, it's there for the taking and the TRON OS has proven itself to be a very robust and stable OS.
Go on, download it, try it, hack it, tweak it, and then share your result to the world.

I know it's in the pre-alpha stage right now, but heck, it's there for the taking and the TRON OS has proven itself to be a very robust and stable OS.
Go on, download it, try it, hack it, tweak it, and then share your result to the world.
